The Port of Dover is located in Kent, in the south-east part of England. It is usually known for its proximity to France, being situated only 21 miles away from the French border. Dover Port has also the most success when it comes to the high number of annual travelers (almost 16 millions) and lorries (about 2 million), among all the other great ports from the United Kingdom. This Harbor is made up of the Eastern Docks and the Western Docks. Each one of them presents ferry services.

The most appreciated and even awarded location is Dover Marina. It is a fun option for yacht and boat owners, offering top service. You can find here all the necessary amenities like fuel, supplies, shops and other leisure places plus the necessary Internet connection and a 24-hour security. For more demanding customers, there are also two important clubs, with interesting benefits: The Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club and the White Cliffs Motor Boat & Yacht Club.

Port Dover provides a rather small number of local attractions for tourists and travelers in comparison to the other important ports. The top visited are: Dover Castle (Castle Hill, Dover CT16 1HU, Secret War Time Tunnels (Dover Castle, Castle Hill, Dover CT16 1HU), South Foreland Lighthouse (The Front, St Margaret’s Bay, Dover CT15 6HP), Dover Transport Museum (Willington Road, Whitfield, Dover CT16 2JX) and The Pines Garden (Beach Road, St Margaret’s Bay, St Margaret’s at Cliffe, Dover CT15 6DZ).
